The Effects of Environmental Restoration on Housing Prices in Northern Colorado

Jack Steketee, West Virginia University

Abstract

As global climate change from human-related activities continues to affect people around the world, people have started to become more environmentally conscious and place a larger value on a clean, healthy environment. As it becomes less and less prevalent, places with little to no impact from human activity are at a premium and there are renewed efforts to try to return ecosystems to their natural state.
